nNot really disappointing, but it was a bit of a buzzkill considering how hard I had fought over the last few days. This was only my fourth day on the island, and I had thought that I had undergone some extreme changes.

nNow, Harold was telling me that I was equivalent to a toddler struggling to swim in a wading pool. Except that the wading pool was in the middle of the ocean, and there was no in between the next step.

nYeah, that is an excellent way to put it, but it's meant like that so you can learn how to use the skills you are learning in a short amount of time.

nThat was a good point, and I activated my Fire Force Pact and Water Undine Totem, then locked onto Hanna. I jogged the block to the house where I had left her and then went inside to hear her coming down the stairs in a rush.

n

"You killed him? The Keep is a mess, and all the animated dead dropped!

" Hanna said as she ran over to hug me.

n

"Yes, he is dead, but we need to get going. I am going to take you to my friends, and they are going to bring you back to the Keep. Dao has Mex, so I am going to deal with him,

" I explained, and Hanna let go of me in shock.

n

"He has Mex?! Why?! What about everyone else?

" Hanna asked with a perplexed look on her face.

n

"He wants to talk to me, but everyone else is alright as far as I know. I need you to go back and help Candace watch over Jessabell, the Minostien, until I can get back. I am sure that the rest of the women will be back at the Keep as well soon enough,

" I explained and mentioned the door, and Hanna quickly went out it.

nOnce Outside, I was able to activate Kali's Totem and turned to Hanna.

n

"I am going to get bigger, and then we are going to get out of here,

" I said, but then people started to fill the streets, and everyone was looking at me.

n

"There he is!

" I heard a female voice from behind me call, and Hanna and I turned to find the about fifteen Karens running up with barely any close on.

nI groaned, and Hanna looked up at me questioningly.

n

"You had time to do all that and defeat Neft? What are you?

" Hanna asked with admiration in her eyes that felt misguided, and I shielded my eyes with my hand, shaking my head.

nThe Snu-Snu God! All hail the man who slew the entire village of women in one deep thrust!

n'Don't use that word, what are you like fourteen? Come on, get with the program, help me with the suck-your-dicks patrol heading over here!'

nI don't think they are coming to suck your soul out of your cock.

nThe women's eyes were now just reddish pink, and they all looked happy and not vapid and ready to jump my bones like before. Maybe they just wanted to say thank you.

n

"If you are going to kill Dao, are you coming back to rule us?

" The head Succubus Demon asked me.

n

"No, you are free to do what you want. I will be leaving this island and heading back to Gardania. You can come back with me if you would like, but I will not be staying here. All the Demon men have been sterilized, so even if you sleep with one, they won't get you pregnant,

" I explained, and then the woman pointed down to the glowing Birthmark on her stomach.

n

"And this? What will be coming out of us? This was you, right?

" The female asked.

n

"My memories, and then you will no longer be demons. What you will turn back into is far beyond what I know, but I don't have time to talk right now. I will come back tomorrow or the next day to see if you all or any want to join us,

" I explained and then took Hanna's hand.

n

"Thank you, but most of us will probably stay; going back means death. I hope that you can defeat Dao,

" The lead Karen said to me, and then they all bowed to me.

nDemons all around me started to say thank you, but they came out slow and awkwardly. Something that they probably weren't used to saying, but at least they knew how to.

nHanna and I started to run, and she led me on a short route to the villages' front gate. The trip was a lot faster, having a guide that knew their way around the village rather than just wandering around.

nI had planned on just getting bigger and trying to step over the houses, but now there were people in the street everywhere. One of the things that I did notice while I was running through the streets was the overall positive feeling I could sense from the people as we ran by them.

nOnce outside the Village south wall gate entrance with piles of armor littering it, I pointed West.

n

"My friends should be over there,

" I said, and Hanna nodded to me, but then I heard Kali's voice call to me.

n

"Big Brother! I am over here! Are you ready to come to climb on me and ride me like you did before?!

" Kali called as she came running from a boulder that started to break apart and form into Grogvel.

n

"Hmm, it seems you have quite the varied taste,

" Hanna said without looking at me in a tone that I didn't like.

n

"No, she is like my little sister, but she was a flower before this, so her mind is still a little bit immature. I might be a pervert, but I am not a sicko. Regardless, I need you to ride her back to the Keep and protect the others,

" I explained to Hanna, and she gave me one of those

"Sure, whatever you say

" looks, making me roll my eyes.
